Even if Lao Wen eats the Forgetting Worry Pill, his mood is probably still affected by the Mirror of the Afterlife, and according to his previous nature, he will not do such a non-contemptuous thing.

I shook my head helplessly, took off the steel rope on my shoulder, and said to Lao Wen and Qingyazi: "Fortunately, there is still pressurized water underground, not only do we really have to die here." Come, wrap your waists, and we'll have to tie them together. ”

Lao Wen and Qingyazi are now bent on getting out, and there is no nonsense, so they immediately put the steel cable around their waists, and the three of us shared a steel cable, and soon they were stuck back to back.

When we were all gone, we loaded our bullets and fired one after another at the ground.

The stone shell under his feet is not thick, almost every shot can burst into a hole, and after changing the magazine several times in a row, a small area on the ground has been turned into a hornet's nest, and the underground water is gurgling out, and the water pressure is so strong that it almost completely collapses the area.

I asked Lao Wen and Qingyazi to tighten the safety valve, don't throw the gun, maybe it will be used after entering the hole.

I just don't know if these old-fashioned 38 big covers can still be used after being soaked in water.

The three of us had just put our safed guns on our shoulders when we heard a "bang" that crushed the stone shell and formed a magnificent fountain.

Seeing this situation, I hurriedly put all the things in the vest into the waterproof bag, and tied the waterproof bag to my arm, Lao Wen and Qingyazi were also tossed.

The water was rising rapidly, and the three of us hurriedly retreated to the edge of the stone hall to prevent being washed away by the strong water pressure.

It didn't take long for the water level to reach our necks, and when the groundwater sprayed up, it formed a strong undercurrent below the water level, and now it was difficult for us to stabilize our center of gravity.

Thanks to the fact that I kept an eye on it and came in with a mouthful of air compression bottle, it really came in handy now.

Qing Yazi had already unscrewed the air valve, and seeing that Lao Wen had taken two mouthfuls of water, Qing Yazi hurriedly put the breathing port on his mouth, seriously, if it wasn't for Qing Yazi's fast hands, Lao Wen might be in danger of drowning.

When the water level was a little higher, we were sucked into the turbulent undercurrent, our bodies spinning irregularly in the water, and our heads were faint for a while.

No matter how deep your cultivation is, how strong your strength is, and how superb your skills are, you can't use them all in such a situation, and now the only thing that can save us is the instinct to survive.

I held my breath and forced my eyes to open wide in the current, observing the distance between the three of us and the stone wall all the time, if we were thrown on the stone by such a strong force, the three of us would not be killed on the spot, and the result would not be much better. Lao Wen and Qing Yazi shared a compression bottle, and they didn't dare to forget to ventilate in the whirlwind, and there were often large blisters they spit out that slid past my face.

As the water level got higher and higher, the water pressure was finally a little smaller, and the undercurrent was not as urgent as it was at the beginning, but the three of us still couldn't surface, because there were too many things on our bodies, but they were still slowly sinking.

I held this breath for too long, and I couldn't bear it a little, just when I saw that Lao Wen had just changed his breath, he grabbed the breathing mouth and took a big sip.

A few seconds later, we sank to the water without incident, and now the undercurrent was so weak that it was almost negligible, and there was no obvious upward rush in the water, only the air trapped in the stone shell was forming wisps of bubbles floating above the water.

Qingyazi stretched out his hand and patted me twice on the shoulder, I hit the flashlight on his side, and I saw him pointing upward, looking at the meaning, as if asking me if I want to go up, I shook my head.

I was worried that the water would rise above the mouth of the cave, and the water would flow into the cave so fast that the three of us would go up and be swept around again.

The cave is not as small as the stone hall, the space is too small, and it is easy to hit the stone wall after being rushed in.

That is, I walked outside last year, accumulated a lot of experience, and my mind was much more meticulous than when I first entered the industry.

It wasn't until the undercurrent completely disappeared and I speculated that the water level had stopped rising, and then dragged Qingyazi and Lao Wen to the surface.

It was also luck that the water line was just pressed on the lower edge of the hole, and there was basically no water seeping into the hole.

I took the steel rope from my waist and separated from Lao Wen and the others, and then slowly swam to the entrance of the cave, and shot a flashlight inside.

Inside, there is a tunnel with a gentle slope and an uphill slope, which is so deep that the beam does not reach the end.

Lao Wen also swam over and shot the light inside, probably because he saw that the tunnel was bottomless, so he was a little worried: "You say, can this road lead to the outside?" ”

"It should be possible, Yuan Tiangang came in from this road in the first place." As I spoke, I pressed my hand against the edge of the hole and climbed in.

As soon as Lao Wen entered the cave, he asked me, "Yuan Tiangang has also been here?" How do you know? ”

"I'll explain it to you later when I have a chance."

While I was talking, Qingyazi also came in, and we didn't dare to waste time, so we took the flashlights together and headed for the depths of the tunnel.

This tunnel can not be seen whether it is naturally formed or artificially built, when the top is lit, you can't see the stalactites, and even the stone surface is a little rough, not like the groundwater washed out, but you can't see the traces of artificial excavation, if this tunnel was built in the Tang Dynasty, the chisel marks will not be completely eroded. But both sides of the tunnel are smooth, as if washed out by water.

After walking for about seven or eight hundred meters, when Lao Wen swept the ground with a flashlight, he saw a huge black shadow clinging to the ground.

When I saw this shadow in the quicksand of the Qi Sea just now, I thought it was a stone bar lying on the ground, and as soon as Lao Wen did this, he saw a pair of whip-like tentacles growing on the huge "stone bar", as well as a hacksaw-like front blade.

When Lao Wen saw this thing, his wrist instinctively trembled, and the light shook to the side, and the sound of swinging the rifle sounded on Qingyazi's side.

I pressed the flashlight beam down and shone it directly on the thing, and now I could see that it was a hollow centipede shell, which at first glance looked similar to a living centipede, but when the light beam swept to its back, I could see that there was a long crack on it, and the skin on the edge of the slit was turned up.

"This is the empty shell left by the strange Gu when it molts, right?" Lao Wen saw the things in front of him clearly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and asked me cautiously.

When he spoke, his tongue could not be straightened, and there was a trilling sound when he said the first few words.

I remember that he usually peed alone, why did he become so cowardly now, an empty shell can scare him like this.

"Are the side effects of the Forgetfulness Pill ahead of schedule?" I turned my head and asked Qingyazi.

Qing Yazi said sullenly: "It's possible, let's go quickly, and try to get out before the side effects break out." ”

I pursed my lips, took my flashlight to the shell, crouched down, and tore a piece of skin from it.

Lao Wen also cautiously came over, and muttered while helping me shine the light: "No wonder the poison of the strange Gu is strong, it has changed from so big to a little bit, and I don't know how many times it has shed its skin." ”

I heard Qing Yazi say: "Doesn't the centipede grow around every time it molts, how did the strange Gu turn around?" ”

"I also listened to my master," Lao Wen explained, "The same Gu creatures, the smaller the body, the more poisonous they are, and whenever the physical body can't bear its own toxicity, they will molt and molt smaller and smaller. In fact, it can't be called peeling, it should be called shedding. ”

I twisted the centipede skin in my hand, this thing is very tough, it is a good material for making magic weapons, and then I put my nose up and sniffed it repeatedly, the outer layer of the skin shell has a faint smell of fire, which is the common smell of yang poison, and the inner layer is a faint salty smell, which is the smell of yin poison. Yin and Yang are poisonous, and they are a good material for medicine.

After walking underground for such a while, if I don't bring some good goods out, to be honest, I really don't want to go. It just so happened that there weren't many things in the old temperate zone, and I could fit them in the pockets on my vest, so I asked him to free up the waterproof bag, and then tore a lot of skin from the insect shell until the waterproof bag was full.

Qingyazi knew that I was collecting medicinal herbs, and said that there were so many precious medicinal herbs in the family, could I be so obsessed with money, and I didn't even let go of a broken shell.

I said that the things of the family can't be supplied to my heart gate, and since I have encountered it, I have to collect a little bit anyway, which can be regarded as saving more inheritance for my own sect.

Hearing me say this, Qing Yazi smiled: "You start thinking about your disciples and grandchildren now?" ”

I sighed: "If you don't think about it, you don't know that it's hard to be poor." Besides, I've got so many inheritances for nothing, if I don't try my best to pass them on, won't I become a sinner for the ages? ”

The waterproof bag is full, there is still a lot of insect shells left, Lao Wen suggested that I carry the insect shells out directly, I thought about it or forget it, after all, no one can say where this tunnel leads, in case it leads to a temple, Taoist temple and other places, I carry such a thing out is too eye-catching.

After crossing the insect shell, we walked a long way in the tunnel, and the air quality of one part of the road was very poor, and I didn't know what was in the stone crevices, and the poisonous gas was coming out, and Lao Wen and Qingyazi relied on the help of breath-holding kung fu and compression bottles to pass through there safely.

I don't know how long I walked, but when Lao Wen and Qing Yazi's physical strength were about to be unable to support it, a light finally appeared in front of him.

With the light, the two of them couldn't care about getting tired, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the light source.

After staying in this claustrophobic and humid environment for a long time, anyone wants to get out quickly, let alone them, even I am excited when I still have physical strength.

I didn't go far out of the tunnel, and less than ten meters from the tunnel exit was a low stone cliff, and the light came from above the stone cliff.

The surface of the stone cliff is relatively rough, and there are a lot of protruding stones that can be borrowed, and the three of us didn't talk nonsense, and immediately stepped on the protruding stones and climbed up.

As soon as I reached the top, I saw a sign standing not far away, the bright light was just enough to illuminate the card, and two lines of black simplified Chinese were written on it: "Construction is heavy, idlers should not approach." ”。
